The government did the censoring?
Yeah...directly and by proxy. Both illegal.
That was the claim quoted in the previous post.
I didn't think anyone took that to mean a government agent showed up at people's houses and stuffed a rag in their mouth.
Are you being serious or just don't have any understanding of the limits of when the government can prevent free speech?
I would agree but I'm not certain this has been demonstrated yet.
What part do you think wasn't demonstrated?
I did a search for this, I'm not seeing this claim being made.. anywhere. Show me.
Is this serious? You don't recall this?
Attorney General Merrick Garland said the FBI referred six cases of threats against school officials to local officials.

That's a decent article. It even refers to the suppression of basic rights of conservatives. Not part of the case here but just another example of the government trampling rights without any accountability. If the school board meeting gets a little loud, they can just call the police. One FBI whistleblower mentioned that he was reassigned from gathering evidence on a pedophile ring to go sit in public school parking lots.
You can read the judgement and evidence cited or not.
My guess is you're probably happy with the oppression of your fellow countrymen as long as it's not happening to you.
Yeah, sorry if there's some confusion but I tend to assume that people understand how stuff works sometimes.
This was filed in a lower court where this ruling was made at the state level.
Then it was appealed to a federal district court that immediately agreed.
Then appealed again to a higher district court that immediately agreed.
And that's how it went all the way through a total of 5 or 6 courts up to it hit the desk of the SCOTUS.
Only one judge had any issue with the original ruling and it's scope. He agreed to at least the necessity for tracking actual criminals on certain social media platforms and amended the ruling to allow for that.
When it hit the desk of the SCOTUS...one has to understand the problem.
It's a ridiculous amount of evidence, precedent makes clear all the civil rights violations and the widespread nature of these abuses. They lifted the injunction but clearly couldn't cite any reason why (to my knowledge, something that hasn't been done) and agreed to settle the matter in a year.
It's a huge problem no matter what. It doesn't matter which way they rule.
If you've ever wondered why governments like ours just shut up about gross widespread abuses of civil rights, human rights, or high crimes...like how they just seal up documents and say "we'll tell you what happened in 40 years when everyone is dead"....
This is probably a time when they wish they could do that...but they can't. It's already all out there available to be seen. It's public knowledge.
